Dr. Kanitsak Boonanantanasarn DDS, PhD is a Diplomat of the American Board of Periodontology. Recently, he has joined Dr. Steven Gill’s laboratory at the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry as a postdoctoral fellow and has an adjunct clinical position at the SUNY at Buffalo, School of Dental Medicine. He is a faculty member in the Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University, Thailand. His research interests include oral microbiota, oral carcinogenesis and stem cell. Additionally, Dr. Boonanantanasarn also discovers natural growth factors from tropical herbs which initiates stem cell differentiation for periodontal tissue engineering. Moreover, in Thailand, he is a pioneer in the screening and development of tropical herbs which demonstrate anti-cancer properties in oral cancers. He has applied for several patents for these herbs as an adjunctive chemotherapy and inducers for tissue engineering Dr. Kanitsak Boonanantanasarn DDS, PhD is a Diplomat of the American Board of Periodontology.
